The Railways at Reboot 8

Posted by marcel May 31, 2006 @ 03:33 AM

Finnish superstar Jarkko Laine, who’s been in the Rails community since day one, is going to be hosting a discussion this Thursday around 9PM at Reboot 8 in Copenhagen called The Railways.

The idea of the discussion is to bring together people who have already dipped their toes in the Rails koolaid with those who have contemplated doing so but have not yet made the jump. The conversation will be around topics like:

  • What in the Rails way has struck people as most important? What has made the most difference?
  • Real-world war stories. How has Rails made something possible/ easier/more productive?
  • Whatever people feel is important to tell Rails newbies.

All Rails people attending Reboot are kindly asked to participate in the discussion and think beforehand of a few good stories they can tell to spread the love.

    Note to self: The Kool Aid is meant for swimming in, not to drink..

    I’ld be great if some people could tell about their experience with business cases, lots of (legacy) companies are still hesitating when it comes to switching to rails. Unfortunately I can’t make thursday.

    Whilst I wouldn’t be at Reboot 8, but related to the topics at hand, I’d been working on this writeup, so here’s a summary of my 6 months on Rails from the trenches so to speak …

    I’ll be there and will be happy to talk about why I quit my old job to do rails, the project I’m currently working on (involving moving a launched PHP site over to rails) and anything else related.

    I am here at Reboot in Copenhagen now and am a RoR developer. I should be posting a podcast on my site as we are starting now to create a next generation mobile social application (in stealth mode) using Rails. Will share for those who cannot be here. Or email, if interested, and will share in a few days…..

    Cheers! Reno
